Welcome Back, Bethel Students, to the land of ice and snow! Icy streets, snowed-in cars, and plunging
temperatures greeted Bethelites returning from the Christmas holiday break. However, there is one con-solation.
We just might finally have snow for Sno-Daze.

who wish. This extension would
include visits to Switzerland and
Italy or other places of interest.
Expenses for such an extension
have not been announced.
Mr. Nelson has stated that col-lege
credits will be awarded for
those who wish to pursue a pre-scribed
course of study including
two credits for bi-weekly lectures
and one credit for the trip itself.
It was learned that some 24 stu-dents
and members of the Art De-partment
have shown an interest
in participating in this excursion,
All those who wish to join the
tour are requested to attend a
meeting at 9:30 p.m. Thursday,

On December 29, the Bethel Sem-inary
was notified of its full ac-creditation
by the American Asso-ciation
of Theological Schools.
This Association is the only such
institution in The United States
and Canada. There are a total of
135 seminaries affiliated with the
agency, but only 94 (now including
Bethel) are fully accredited insti-tutions.
Australia, Central America, Iran
and Sweden have been selected as
the 1968 Student Project for Amity
among Nations (SPAN) study areas.
SPAN is an unique independent
study program which involves a
year of preparation for the "coun-try
group" of students selected for
a particular area, the summer of
study in the country, and the writ-ing
of a major paper upon return
to the United States. For this work
the SPANner receives twelve quar-ter
credits from the University of
Minnesota.
"The Church and Today's Teen-
Age World" is the title of the con-vocation
address to be delivered
on the Bethel College campus
Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. by Rev.
Donn C. Odell.
Rev. Odell is presently engaged
as president of Culter Academy, a
Christian high school in Los An-geles,
California. In this capacity
he has worked closely with junior
high and high school students for
the past three years.
Bcause of his deep concern for
young people, his understanding
of their problems and a God-given
insight into their lives, he has had
a unique ministry in counseling
with such teen-agers.
Mr. Odell received his Bachelor
of Science degree from the Uni-
In December, 1965, the semi-nary

The agency sent the seminary some
standard self study sheets which
are designed as questionnaires for
preliminary review.
Reaction to these study sheets

were returned on May 1, 1966. On
October 19 and 20 of last year,

Students selected will receive
scholarships from SPAN which will
cover approximately half the cost
of the entire experience. SPAN-ners
must return to one of the
eleven participating SPAN colleges
during the academic year 1968-69.
Applications will be available
on January 3, 1967, and will be ac-cepted
until March 1, 1967. Appli-cations

versity of Southern California and
a subsequent Bachelor of Divinity
degree from Fuller Theological
Seminary. He is currently a can-didate
for the Master of Theology
degree at that seminary with a
major emphasis in Semitic lan-guages.
Prior to entering formal theo-logical
training, Mr. Odell was em-ployed
as a successful importer.
Following seminary he studied at
the Hebrew University in Jeru-salem,
Israel, while he, with his
family, was undertaking a special
project for the Conservative Bap-tist
Foreign Mission Society.

of the seminary.
By October 1 of last year the
seminary had completed a self stu-dy
of its own—a 282 page manu-script
containing intensive study
of all aspects of the seminary.
On December 10, 1966 the Ac-crediting
Commission recommend-ed
full accreditation for the Beth-el
Seminary. A final vote taken
by mail, of all members of the
AATS finalized Bethel's mature
standing with the organization.
The announcement concerning
the accreditation was withheld of-ficially
until the opening day for
the new quarter which began on
January 4, 1967.
Dean Johnson, in a release stat-ed,
"Accreditation is . . . a pla-teau
toward which we have worked
and looked in our growth and de-velopment,
but it is also a pla-teau
from which we will move on
in working toward greater excel-lency
in our responsibility to the
Lord in training men and women
for Christian service."

World Travel, who is planning the
trip, has set the tour price at $400.
This package includes jet fares,
bus trips on the continent, hotel
accomodations, and breakfasts.
The tour members are slated for
a June 6 flight out of Kennedy
International airport, New York,
for London. Places of interest in
that city will be the British Mu-seum
and the National Gallery.
Other sidelights will include the
Tower of London and St. Paul's
Church.
On June 10 the study group
will arrive in Holland, spending
the first day in the Hagg, and
proceeding to Amsterdam for the
night. High points of the Am-sterdam
stay will be the house
of Rembrandt and large collec-tions
of works by Van Gogh as
well as other prominent Dutch
artists.
On its way to Belgium, the tour
will make a stop at Utrecht to
visit the Museum of Contemporary
Religious Art. Other points of in-terest
will be la Musee d'art An-cient
and the Museum of Modern
Art.
The bus trip to Paris will in-clude
stops at Tournai, Amiens,
Beauvais, and St. Denis to visit
famous cathedrals located in these
towns.
Paris will serve as a hub for
exploration of such nearby reg-ions
as Versailles and Chartres.
Foremost in the Paris intinerary
will be the Louvre, and the Mu-seum
of Modern Art. The official
tour will end in Paris on June
20, on which date the group will
be booked for a return flight to
the United States via London.

the CLARION Thursday, January 12, 1967
Exchange Would Combat
`Rights' Issues Stagnation
In the Thursday, December 1, issue of the CLARION,
editor -in-chief John Halvorsen reacted to the film, "A Time
For Burning". The answer which the film seemed to pose for
the civil rights problem was centered squarely about the "get-to
know us" theme.
The criticism which the editorial brought to bear upon
the film was not so much concerning the validity of the answer
as to its particular irrelevance to the Bethel Campus. The
problem being of course that there are no American Negroes
on our college campus, and hence an active participation in
and acquaintance with the civil rights problem cannot be a
reality for our students.
In the past, very few Negroes have applied to Bethel for
admission. As Dr. Finlay so aptly put it, "There are very few
Swedish Negroes." Consequently Bethel has no base from which
to draw Negro students. The few who have applied have
either not been accepted for academic reasons, or, as in the
case of Leroy Gardner, (prominent Central High School basket-ball
star, and member of the Gopher Varsity) they have chosen
other schools.
By way of a recent letter in the "Catherine Wheel" I learn-that
St. Catherine's College had an exchange program with
a southern school, Xavier University. Several Negro students
from that school were invited to spend a semester in study at
the St. Catherine campus, and in exchange, several students
from St. Paul went south to study at Xavier U.
Initial reaction from the participants, as well as a num-ber
of other students would seem to indicate that the program
was highly successful in making students aware of the civil
rights problem.
Though the St. Catherine program was negotiated through
the presidents of the two colleges, the student council of Bethel
could easily handle such an operation.
The ignorance on the Bethel campus concerning the in-tensity
and prime issues of the civil rights struggle could be
partly remedied by such an exchange program.
Senate Observer (Birch-bark)
College President Initiates Studies;
Student Rights Prime Consideration
Manhattan, Kans.—(I.P.)—What are the rights and
responsibilities of students, faculty and administra-tors
in the university setting?
What should be the role of the university student
in governing himself and in policy making in the
university?
What freedoms are desirable in a climate of
learning which will enhance human dignity and
the development of the student?
These are some of the questions which a 17-man
Presidential Commission on Student Government will
explore at Kansas State University during the current
school year.
In creating the commission of 10 student leaders
and 7 faculty, President James A. McCain charged
the group with "defining the philosophy and clari-fying
the objectives of student government," with
"determining key issues in the area of student gov-ernment
and achieving its objectives."
"The rights of university students and student
relationships with other segments of the university
community are becoming increasingly a matter of
concern and discussion throughout American high
education," President McCain said. He noted that
accelerating university enrollments and growing
emphasis on research threaten to depersonalize
the educational process unless effective counter-measures
are taken.
President McCain noted that students are becom-ing
increasingly sensitive to, and concerned over,
tht state of the Nation and the world off campus.
He pointed to the militant advocacy of views by
groups of students on many campuses and mentioned
the "mounting student impatience with university
rules and regulations, especially as they affect per-sonal
behavior."
But President McCain added that this ferment
"has raised more questions than it has answered."
Establishment of the Presidential Commission
on Student Government grew out of a meeting of
President McCain with student leaders who ex-pressed
concern with the role of student govern-ment
on campus. President McCain was sympa-thetic
with their aims and in response to their
request established the commission.
Dr. Chester Peters, dean of students and chairman
of the commission, said following the initial meeting
of the group that the commission focus will be on
the individual student — his needs, goals and ac-complishments,
rather than upon techniques or struc-tures.

by Leonard Sammons
As much as I would like to write
an article complimenting the Stu-dent
Senate for any accomplish-ments
it might have made this
year which I may have overlooked.
it is necessary for me to inform
readers of the Bethel political
scene.
As we all know by now, the
Senate had a committee which pre-sented
good plans for tejuvinat-ing'
the coffee shop. The proposed
methods of raising the money were
bad but that is not the immediate
issue. This called for, as you know,
a one dollar contribution from
each student.
As of Friday, December 16,
the donations totaled approxi-mately
$275. Since Bill Ledkins
and others behind this plan had
confidently prophisied that the
work would be done during
Christmas vacation, they obvi-ously
wished to avoid embar-rassment
and get some action.
This meant covering the fact
that only about 250 students (275
subtract faculty and multiple do-nations
and add a few to give
the benefit of any conceiveable
doubt) gave.
The corollary to this is that they
chose to cover the fact that seven
hundred plus students did not give
because 1) they did not like the
rejuvination plans, 2) they did not
know enough about them 3) they
did not care or were too cheap,
4) they did not feel strongly
enough to give a dollar, 5) they did
not like the fund raising plans, or
6) they had some other unlikely
reason that I must allow for.
It occurred to the Establishment
(usually the Harvey-Keim•Stone-
Schultz-Olson brother complex and
their associates) to have a special
meeting of the Senate called for
the second hour on Friday, Decem-ber
16 in Mr. Halleen's office (so
no one would accidentally run a-cross
it?).
They also kept certain sena-tors
(i.e.John Sailhammer, a non-establishment
senator concern-ed
that we not shirk our academ-ic
responsibility) uninformed of
the existence of such a meeting.
It is however to the everlasting
credit of Jim Keim that I found
out about it a matter of minutes
before the meeting started.
If he had not told me the deeds
of the Senate might have gone un-noticed.
Expecting fireworks, I de-cided
to cut Anthropology 151
since I thought it was of grave
importance.
When a quorum failed to appear,
Mr. Halleen, who is obviously pro-administration,
called Ledkins and
the brothers Olson, all obviously
on his side, and these three only.
When at last a quorum was ob-tained,
Dave Livingston (who
had the chair in place of the
conveniently absent Keim) called
the meeting to order. Mr. Living-ston
removed any doubt that
might have existed regarding his
side immediately after R o n
Stone moved that $200 from the
Academic Budget be given to the
Coffee Shop Fund.
Hearsay testimony from Dick
Schultz and Owen Halleen assured
the Senate that the Academic Com-mittee
would not need the money.
No attempt apparently was made
to have Rich Runbeck who had
been appointed Academic Commit-tee
chairman only nine days earli-er,
to express his opinion. Nor was

Berkeley
THE CAUSE OF THE MONTH
CLUB has announced its decision
on the 'in cause' for the month of
December. Remembering the good
times of two years ago when over
eight hundred of its members were
arrested, the nostalgic leaders, in
any concern given for the fact
that academic responsibility exists.
The opposition was led by Dave
Anderson (who was frustrated and
knew he would make no difference
anyhow because Livingston would
break a tie by voting yes) and the
unfortunate absence of Sailham-mer
who would, no doubt, have
voted 'no' resulting in a no vote
from Anderson—the motion passed
5-4.
If Sailhammer would have been
present it. would have failed 6-5
—a double good trick consider-ing
the establishment rarely e-ven
comes this close to losing
and it was at their meeting.
I hope Bethel is proud of its
coffee shop for it was bought with
a price. The price is not only the
loss of academic committee func-tions,
but the loss of some degree
of believability in the Senate. This
price is exceedingly high and I
hope next year's Senate will not
exact such high tribute.
Hopefully, next week I can pre-sent
a better story.

last year's 'protest award,' in keep-ing
with the decision, led the more
than 3,000 jeering demonstrators
protesting an alleged denial of
students privileges.
As usual, the 'in local Ad-ministratis;
Earl F. Cheit, spoil-ed
all the fun with an, of all
things!, realistic appraisal of
free speech. Also on hand were
the S.D.S. and the B.P.D.

agreed to observe three
truce periods offered by the Com-munist
leaders for the coming holi-days.
Reluctantly three for holi-days
the Communist by coming

observe commanders.
Three Communist reluctantly ob-serve

The U.N.
If you were turned down fif-teen
times, wouldn't you kinda
take the hint and get out the
'Right Guard?' Right! — well,
that's exactly what Red China
did after her last refusal—only,
she got out the wrong Guard and
was red with embarrassment at
the U.N.'s last refusal to accept
her, November 29 of this year.
If she really wanted to be ac-cepted,
she should have taken
advantage of Nikita-Dag.
Europe
Although there is little know-ledge
of the content of the Kosy-bin-
de-Gaulle discussions, it is fair-ly
certain that they made Kurt-
George Kiesinger's nose itch.
Viet Nam
While the United States and her
allies were embarking on one of
the largest offensives of the Viet
Nam war, 5,000 South Vietnamese
dock workers went on strike. Pro-testing
the discharge of 600 civil-ian
longshoremen, the workers
walked off their job on December
26 leaving the transport of military
supplies at a standstill. However,
U.S. soldiers were able to keep
essentials in route to the war .. .
Much to the aversion of the mili-tary
command, a 48 hour pause
was theoretically observed during
the Christmas holiday. As was ex-pected,
the Viet Cong wasted no
time in strategically utilizing the
quasi-truce. Intelligence reports
show that during this two day lull,.
more men and supplies were trans,

with useful recommendations."

Notes Changes
To the Editor:
Congratulations to the Students
of Bethel and the Student Senate
on the good beginnings of a Stu-dent
Center with atmosphere! It
was fun to hear the remarks and
see the expressions as it was first
viewed. Mr. Eugene Johnson, Owen
Halleen, Jim Keim, Mr. Haynes and
the host of workmen are to be
commended on their good work.
Now—let's see it through. Money
and work are still needed.
Bethel Bookstore is happy for
the change. There are several
changes behind the scenes that
will expedite matters for us. The
closet and work space in the Stu-dent
Center were exchanged for
private space in the Post Office,
the downstairs storage closet was
accepted by Public Affairs in ex-change
for space under the college
building front entrance.
Finally, an additional small room
was added where coat racks used
to stand. All of this puts our work-storage
area into one location. It
is most helpful.
Congratulations—and thanks!

During the course of the semes-ter
a flurry of extraneous mailing
finds its way into post office box

station. The content of the mater-ial
can be generally categorized
as either 1) Save-it-for-reference-or-

Sifting through category number
three I purchanced upon what ap-peared
as a rather harmless series
of volumes under the scintillating
title, "Characteristics of the Col-lege
Market, A Marplan Research
Report prepared for National Edu-cational
Advertising Services, a
subsidiary of Reader's Digest Sales
and Service."
The series was presented in sev-eral
volumes: "Expenditure for
Goods and Services," "Media Expo-sure,"
"Expenditures on Proprie-tary
Medicines," and "Expendi-tures
on Automobile and Automo-tive
Accessories."
Just as these were about to find
their way into that treasured rub-bish
pile located somewhere near
the southeastern corner of t h e
CLARION office I came across the
following quote: Collegians today
not only have a good deal of money
—they spend it."
I mean, tell me more fella! Here
I stand at the beginning of another
semester with an empty pocket and
a tuition bill of $550, a board bill
of $187.50, book expenses of $40,
and room expenses of $125 staring
me greedily in the face.
Well, I read on and uncovered
some valuable information about
myself and my colleagues in this
collegiate maelstrom. It read al-most
like a true-to-life Ripley's Be.
lieve It or Not. For instance, did
you know that 72.2% of college
males consume cookies during the
semester contrasted with 85.3% for
their coeducational partners?
Now when I came to section
labled "Clothing Ownership" I was
fascinated. Did you know that col-lege
males on the average own 10
undershirts, 10 undershorts, two
pair of cufflinks and one raincoat.
And guys listen to this. Girls
own six bras, two girdles, two com-pacts,
and six heels. 9.3% of the
college males own suspenders and
garters and 42.6% of the females
own gym-suits.
A potentially interesting incon-gruency
was found in the "Groom-ing
Aids Usage" department. Dui.,
Mg the course of the semester
70.0% of the college men will use
razor blades contrasted with 77.9%
for females.
Tennis racquets are by far the
most popular item of sports equip-ment
owned by college students.
Next on the list come bicycles fol-lowed
closely by sleeping bags.
Reading under "Media Expo-sure"
led to several interesting
discoveries: 1) "Playboy" is by far
cont'd. from page 2
ported than during the previous
two months. Now, is that any way
to win a war?
the most widely read monthly ma-gazine
among college students.
26.7% of all students read it reg-ularly,
and 69.3% of all males and
33.0% of all females have read it
during the past thirty days. Draw
any conclusion you wish.
2) Students spend relatively lit-tle
time viewing television. Only
19%view any daytime shows, and
only 28% spend an hour or more
viewing an evening program on art
average weeknight. 3) 50% of all
students sometimes study while
listening to the radio. 4) 67% of
all collegians claim some reader-ship
of a city newspaper, and 5)
(this is the best news of all) 96%
of all students read their own col-lege
newspaper.
So you don't think college stu-dents
are hypochondriacs? 84.0%
use aspirin, 30.5% use cough drops,
and 26.7% use stomach remedies.
When it comes to automobiles,
I read that 58.0% of college males
own at least one and likewise
24.2% of the females.
Browsing through all of these
figures brought me back to that
original statement: "Collegians to-day
not only have a great deal of
money — they spend it." If that
is true, and from the statistics
quoted, it seems to be, then I can
come up with only one conclusion
—I can't be a collegian.
efteld--
Concerning the war, an open
letter was sent to the President
signed by students from 100
American colleges and universi-ties:
" . . . unless this conflict
can be eased, the United States
will find some of her most loyal
and courageous young people
choosing to go to jail rather
than to bear their country's
arms."
Civil Rights
Two significant court decisions
this week almost assuredly pre-sage
conflict in southern civil
rights efforts:
a) The United States Courts of
Appeals voted in favor of a de-cree
which would virtually deseg-regate
the South's public schools,
commencing with the school year
1967-68.
b) Georgia's Supreme Court
ruled, in a 5-2 vote, Friday that
the legislature may choose the
next govenor of that state. Sig-nificant
is the fact that Lester
the Maddox (also the segrega-tionist)
is highly likely to be
elected.
If the past is any indication,
Lester the-walk-softly-but-carry-a-big-
ax-handle Maddox won't take
desegregation lying down — or for
that matter, any other way they
try it.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Do you know why diamonds of the same carat
are priced differently?
The difference can be seen through our diamond
microscope. Come in and see for yourself.

IT'S A NORTH WIND THAT BLOWS NO GOOD
Crushed between the twin millstones of January
weather and final exams, you are saved from total des-pair,
poor devils, only by the knowledge that winter vaca-tion
will soon be here.
Where will you go this year? Will it be Florida again,
or are you tired of jails ? Then how about Puerto Rico ?
A most excellent notion, say I. A balmy and bounteous
island with long white beaches and blue, blue skies and
green, healing seas. And, most pleasant of all, the warm
and gracious people of Puerto Rico ! You don't even have
to know Spanish to communicate with this friendly folk.
Just learn three simple phrases and you'll get along
splendidly : "Buenos dias" which means "Good morning,"
"Gracias" which means "Thank you," and "Que sera
sera" which means "Your llama is on my foot."
In order to help you enjoy the fabled land of Puerto
Rico it would be well for me to supply a bit of historical
background. (It would also be well for me to say a few
words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be-cause
the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades pay me to write this column and they are inclined
to sulk if I omit to mention their product. Of course, they
don't stay gloomy long, for they are kindly, cheery men
fond of Morris dancing, spelling bees, and temperance
punch—fine, upright types, as true and gleaming and
durable as the blades they make. And if you've tried
Personna's, you know how true and gleaming and durable
that is ! And if you haven't tried Personna's, poor devil,
you've cheated both your purse and face, for Personna's
last and last, shave after luxury shave, close, clean, nick-less,
hackless, tugless, gougeless, scratchless, matchless.
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades come in Double
Edge or Injector style and are made only by the makers
of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades.)
But I digress. Back to the history of Puerto Rico. The
island was discovered by that popular discoverer Chris-topher
Columbus. Incidentally, considering Columbus'
popularity, it's odd we know so little about him. What do
we really know? Only this :
He was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451, the son of
Ralph T. Columbus, a knee-cymbal vendor, and Eleanor
( Swifty) Columbus, a low hurdler. He was an only child
except for his five brothers and eight sisters. From early
childhood he was an avid reader and spent all his waking
hours immersed in a book. Unfortunately, there was only
one book in Genoa at the time—Care of the Horse by
Aristotle—and after 18 years of reading Care of the
Horse, Columbus grew restless. When rumor reached
him there was another book in Madrid, off he ran as fast
as his little fat legs would carry him.
Disappointment, alas, awaited him there. The only book
in Madrid was Cuidar un Caballo, which proved to be noth-ing
more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse.
Then one day Columbus heard from a traveller that
there were millions of books in India, and he was in-stantly
ablaze to set sail. Off he ran on his little fat legs
to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella ( Columbus, though
more than six feet tall, was plagued with little fat legs
all his life) and, as we all know, he persuaded the Span-ish
rulers to outfit him with three stout ships, the Flopsy,
the Mopsy, and the Cottontail, and the rest is history !
Well sir, now you know all about the origins of Puerto
Rico. So get packed and get going ! You'll love it ! Stroll the
beaches, swim the coves, breathe the fragrance of hibiscus
and bougainvillea. And remember always that the friendly
Puerto Ricans are delighted to show you their customs,
teach you their language. Why, I'll wager you'll soon know
far more Spanish than the three basic phrases. You'll know
"Hastalavista"which means "See you later.""Por favor"
which means "Please," and "El tren se par() en las esta-cion"
which means "Your llama has eaten my passport."

Only three more days to Super Sunday and the Super
Bowl! Fans across the country have been eagerly awaiting this
super showdown for years: players have been awaiting the
super payoff ever since the game was first slated, although
papers across the country have constantly quoted the pro
gridders as strongly, and (undoubtedly) truthfully, asserting
that the important factor is the prestige of their team and
league, and not the money.
However, Bethelites who watch this super culmination to
the flurry of post-season grid games might be interested to
note that NBC and CBS shelled out $2.5 x 10' (that's 2Y2 mil-lion
dollars for you musi...er...non-math majors) for TV rights
to the super game. Even without the super receipts of this
Sunday, pro football is now a $65 million a year business—
not bad for a sport that struggled through 30 years of insta-bility
before reaching the financial big-time.
The box office is still the prime source of green stuff,
and the NFL Cleveland Browns head both leagues in this
department by packing in nearly 80,000 fans per conterst.
All told the now Brown-less Browns gross about $4 million;
a low ranking NFL team takes in about $2,600,000.
CBS' $18 million won NFL television rights — that's well
over a million to each of the 15 teams. American Football
League teams will average a take of around $900,000 annual-ly
from their five-year deal with NBC.
Biggest single expense is the player payroll which almost
always exceeds $700,000. The average NFL gridder makes a-bout
$16,000 a year, and the AFL player makes close to the
same. Other expenses include equipment, which runs about
$300 per player, and $225 worth of footballs. and insurance.
Well, back to the Super Bowl for a few parting com-ments.
Although Green Bay is a clear favorite, Kansas City
will show up — even the losers make a lot of cash in this
game. But the Chiefs are conceding nothing; as, star line-backer
Bobby Bell says, "Both teams put their pants on the
same way — if the Packers hang them on the wall and then
jump into them, nobody has told me about it."
This corner will have to stick to favored Green Bush...er...
Bay as the team which will bring home the bacon which, in
this case, is 52 shares at $15,000. As they say, to the victors
go the spoils and EVEN IN COLLEGE BALL EVERYONE
LOVES A WINNER.

With the dawn of a new year,
cage coach Mack Nettleton has
hopes for a change in his team's
fortunes. Since the Bethel fans
last had the opportunity to view
the cagers at home, the Royals
have dropped three contests and
copped one. The season record cur-rently
stands at 3-7.
If one can remember, a tough
schedule was forecast. The forecast
now appears to have been well-founded.
Looking ahead, one sees a
rocky •road. For that reason, one
might wish to review the games
since December 16.
On December 16 the Royals trav-elled
to Iowa to face Northwestern.
Despite some excellent shooting,
the Royals took the short end of
a 104-96 score. Bethel led 52-51
at halftime, but the Iowans captur
ed the lead for keeps with seven
minutes to play.
Four Royals hit double figures
including Dave Bjorkland with 30,
Ron Pederson with 23, Dick Rob-ertson
with 13, and Edgar Peter-man
with 12.
The next evening our cagers
were completely outclassed b y
Sioux Falls ollege 118-73. Ron
Rrayl's 37 points set the torrid
pace of the Sioux Falls' 57.5%
shooting. The Royals were never in

The Bethel Hockey Club, unde-feated
in two years encountered
one of the stronger teams in the
MIAC as it met the St. Thomas
Tommies on the latter's home ice.
The Tommies carry a 2-3 confer-ence
record and challenged what
many local sports writers have
loosely termed one of the most
"offensive" small college clubs in
Thursday, January 12, 1967
jump off to an early lead. They
also led 62-31 at halftime. (The
Royals have another crack at them
this Saturday night — here!
The University of Manitoba, as
part of the "Peoples to Peoples
Program", fell victim to the Roy-als
80-55 in a shoddy contest. Cap-tain
Bjorkland once again led with
22 followed by Ron Pederson with
14.
Stout State of Wisconsin, how-ever,
ended Bethel's one game
streak by a score of 100-79. The
first half was fought on fairly
The Bethel Junior Varsity bas-ketball
team so far this season has
compiled a one wine — six loss
record. The lone win came in the
first game of the season against
Osceola Air Force Base.
That night the Junior Royals
blasted the airmen 94-69. The 94
points represents by far the team's
greatest offensive night. After the
Thanksgiving vacation they played
three games in one weekend.
On December 1 they lost to
River Falls 98-75; the next night
the state in referring to the Roy-als.
Sparked by the return of first
tenor Larry Schultz, baritone Doug
Gordh, trombonist Merle Daniel-son,
and National Guardsman Dave
Gerke, the pucksters were at full
strength for their second assault

final score of the contest was

even terms, but Stout led 49-42.
The Royals played perhaps their
finest 20 minutes of the season
that half. On the other hand, the
second half brought a reversal
as the Wisconsin boys handled the
boards with more authority and
won going away.
Tom Stroede and Jerry Kiesman
led Stout with 21 and 16 respec-tively
while Dave Bjorkland led
the Royals with 20 followed by
Dave Moulton, Dick Robertson and
Ron Pederson with 14, 12, and 12
respectively.
Macalester won 72-49; and in the
third game Macalester beat Bethel
70-58.
The team came back against
Hamline, playing them evenly for
much of the game, but lost 58-
54. Augsburg routed the J-V's 83-
54 on December 10, and in their
last game they lost to Albert Lea
79-63.
As poor as their record is, the
team has shown some encouraging
signs. In most of the defeats the
team has suffered heavily from
mental errors and lack of team-work.
But the team rebounded in the
second half at Albert Lea, des-pite
many violations, to play
much better ball. So if the team
can cut down on their mistakes,
they should be able to play win-ning
basketball.
There are also some talented
players on the squad who some-day
should be able to add a valu-able
contribution playing varsity
ball.
Statistically, Steve Bostrom is a
leader in many departments. Bos-trom
has scored 81 points, shot
46.6% from the field, and has
pulled down 36 rebounds. Murray
Sitte leads the team in assists with
14.
Ken Borchert is the second
leading scorer, but has 28 field
goals compared to Bostrom's 27.
The leader in free throw shoot-ing
is Dean Ericson who has
made good on nine out of 10
shots.
Andy Feldman is second in both
rebounds with 34 and shooting per-centage
with 42%.

On December 29, the Bethel Sem-inary
was notified of its full ac-creditation
by the American Asso-ciation
of Theological Schools.
This Association is the only such
institution in The United States
and Canada. There are a total of
135 seminaries affiliated with the
agency, but only 94 (now including
Bethel) are fully accredited insti-tutions.
Australia, Central America, Iran
and Sweden have been selected as
the 1968 Student Project for Amity
among Nations (SPAN) study areas.
SPAN is an unique independent
study program which involves a
year of preparation for the "coun-try
group" of students selected for
a particular area, the summer of
study in the country, and the writ-ing
of a major paper upon return
to the United States. For this work
the SPANner receives twelve quar-ter
credits from the University of
Minnesota.
"The Church and Today's Teen-
Age World" is the title of the con-vocation
address to be delivered
on the Bethel College campus
Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. by Rev.
Donn C. Odell.
Rev. Odell is presently engaged
as president of Culter Academy, a
Christian high school in Los An-geles,
California. In this capacity
he has worked closely with junior
high and high school students for
the past three years.
Bcause of his deep concern for
young people, his understanding
of their problems and a God-given
insight into their lives, he has had
a unique ministry in counseling
with such teen-agers.
Mr. Odell received his Bachelor
of Science degree from the Uni-

The agency sent the seminary some
standard self study sheets which

Students selected will receive
scholarships from SPAN which will
cover approximately half the cost
of the entire experience. SPAN-ners
must return to one of the
eleven participating SPAN colleges
during the academic year 1968-69.
Applications will be available
on January 3, 1967, and will be ac-cepted

a subsequent Bachelor of Divinity
degree from Fuller Theological
Seminary. He is currently a can-didate
for the Master of Theology
degree at that seminary with a
major emphasis in Semitic lan-guages.
Prior to entering formal theo-logical
training, Mr. Odell was em-ployed
as a successful importer.
Following seminary he studied at
the Hebrew University in Jeru-salem,
Israel, while he, with his
family, was undertaking a special

Foreign Mission Society.

of the seminary.
By October 1 of last year the
seminary had completed a self stu-dy
of its own—a 282 page manu-script
containing intensive study
of all aspects of the seminary.
On December 10, 1966 the Ac-crediting
Commission recommend-ed
full accreditation for the Beth-el
Seminary. A final vote taken
by mail, of all members of the
AATS finalized Bethel's mature
standing with the organization.
The announcement concerning
the accreditation was withheld of-ficially
until the opening day for
the new quarter which began on
January 4, 1967.
Dean Johnson, in a release stat-ed,
"Accreditation is . . . a pla-teau
toward which we have worked
and looked in our growth and de-velopment,
but it is also a pla-teau
from which we will move on
in working toward greater excel-lency
in our responsibility to the
Lord in training men and women
for Christian service."

accomodations, and breakfasts.
The tour members are slated for
a June 6 flight out of Kennedy
International airport, New York,
for London. Places of interest in
that city will be the British Mu-seum
and the National Gallery.
Other sidelights will include the
Tower of London and St. Paul's
Church.
On June 10 the study group
will arrive in Holland, spending
the first day in the Hagg, and
proceeding to Amsterdam for the
night. High points of the Am-sterdam
stay will be the house
of Rembrandt and large collec-tions
of works by Van Gogh as
well as other prominent Dutch
artists.
On its way to Belgium, the tour
will make a stop at Utrecht to
visit the Museum of Contemporary
Religious Art. Other points of in-terest
will be la Musee d'art An-cient
and the Museum of Modern
Art.
The bus trip to Paris will in-clude
stops at Tournai, Amiens,
Beauvais, and St. Denis to visit
famous cathedrals located in these
towns.
Paris will serve as a hub for
exploration of such nearby reg-ions
as Versailles and Chartres.
Foremost in the Paris intinerary
will be the Louvre, and the Mu-seum
of Modern Art. The official
tour will end in Paris on June
20, on which date the group will
be booked for a return flight to
the United States via London.

Exchange Would Combat
`Rights' Issues Stagnation
In the Thursday, December 1, issue of the CLARION,
editor -in-chief John Halvorsen reacted to the film, "A Time
For Burning". The answer which the film seemed to pose for
the civil rights problem was centered squarely about the "get-to
know us" theme.
The criticism which the editorial brought to bear upon
the film was not so much concerning the validity of the answer
as to its particular irrelevance to the Bethel Campus. The
problem being of course that there are no American Negroes
on our college campus, and hence an active participation in
and acquaintance with the civil rights problem cannot be a
reality for our students.
In the past, very few Negroes have applied to Bethel for
admission. As Dr. Finlay so aptly put it, "There are very few
Swedish Negroes." Consequently Bethel has no base from which
to draw Negro students. The few who have applied have
either not been accepted for academic reasons, or, as in the
case of Leroy Gardner, (prominent Central High School basket-ball
star, and member of the Gopher Varsity) they have chosen
other schools.
By way of a recent letter in the "Catherine Wheel" I learn-that
St. Catherine's College had an exchange program with
a southern school, Xavier University. Several Negro students
from that school were invited to spend a semester in study at
the St. Catherine campus, and in exchange, several students
from St. Paul went south to study at Xavier U.
Initial reaction from the participants, as well as a num-ber
of other students would seem to indicate that the program
was highly successful in making students aware of the civil
rights problem.
Though the St. Catherine program was negotiated through
the presidents of the two colleges, the student council of Bethel
could easily handle such an operation.
The ignorance on the Bethel campus concerning the in-tensity
and prime issues of the civil rights struggle could be
partly remedied by such an exchange program.
Senate Observer (Birch-bark)
College President Initiates Studies;
Student Rights Prime Consideration
Manhattan, Kans.—(I.P.)—What are the rights and
responsibilities of students, faculty and administra-tors
in the university setting?
What should be the role of the university student
in governing himself and in policy making in the
university?
What freedoms are desirable in a climate of
learning which will enhance human dignity and
the development of the student?
These are some of the questions which a 17-man
Presidential Commission on Student Government will
explore at Kansas State University during the current
school year.
In creating the commission of 10 student leaders
and 7 faculty, President James A. McCain charged
the group with "defining the philosophy and clari-fying
the objectives of student government," with
"determining key issues in the area of student gov-ernment
and achieving its objectives."
"The rights of university students and student
relationships with other segments of the university
community are becoming increasingly a matter of
concern and discussion throughout American high
education," President McCain said. He noted that
accelerating university enrollments and growing
emphasis on research threaten to depersonalize
the educational process unless effective counter-measures
are taken.
President McCain noted that students are becom-ing
increasingly sensitive to, and concerned over,
tht state of the Nation and the world off campus.
He pointed to the militant advocacy of views by
groups of students on many campuses and mentioned
the "mounting student impatience with university
rules and regulations, especially as they affect per-sonal
behavior."
But President McCain added that this ferment
"has raised more questions than it has answered."
Establishment of the Presidential Commission
on Student Government grew out of a meeting of
President McCain with student leaders who ex-pressed
concern with the role of student govern-ment
on campus. President McCain was sympa-thetic
with their aims and in response to their
request established the commission.
Dr. Chester Peters, dean of students and chairman
of the commission, said following the initial meeting
of the group that the commission focus will be on
the individual student — his needs, goals and ac-complishments,
rather than upon techniques or struc-tures.

As much as I would like to write
an article complimenting the Stu-dent
Senate for any accomplish-ments
it might have made this
year which I may have overlooked.
it is necessary for me to inform
readers of the Bethel political
scene.
As we all know by now, the
Senate had a committee which pre-sented
good plans for tejuvinat-ing'
the coffee shop. The proposed
methods of raising the money were
bad but that is not the immediate
issue. This called for, as you know,
a one dollar contribution from
each student.
As of Friday, December 16,
the donations totaled approxi-mately
$275. Since Bill Ledkins
and others behind this plan had
confidently prophisied that the
work would be done during
Christmas vacation, they obvi-ously
wished to avoid embar-rassment
and get some action.
This meant covering the fact
that only about 250 students (275
subtract faculty and multiple do-nations
and add a few to give
the benefit of any conceiveable
doubt) gave.
The corollary to this is that they
chose to cover the fact that seven
hundred plus students did not give
because 1) they did not like the
rejuvination plans, 2) they did not
know enough about them 3) they
did not care or were too cheap,
4) they did not feel strongly
enough to give a dollar, 5) they did
not like the fund raising plans, or
6) they had some other unlikely
reason that I must allow for.
It occurred to the Establishment
(usually the Harvey-Keim•Stone-
Schultz-Olson brother complex and
their associates) to have a special
meeting of the Senate called for
the second hour on Friday, Decem-ber
16 in Mr. Halleen's office (so
no one would accidentally run a-cross
it?).
They also kept certain sena-tors
(i.e.John Sailhammer, a non-establishment
senator concern-ed
that we not shirk our academ-ic
responsibility) uninformed of
the existence of such a meeting.
It is however to the everlasting
credit of Jim Keim that I found
out about it a matter of minutes
before the meeting started.
If he had not told me the deeds
of the Senate might have gone un-noticed.
Expecting fireworks, I de-cided
to cut Anthropology 151
since I thought it was of grave
importance.
When a quorum failed to appear,
Mr. Halleen, who is obviously pro-administration,
called Ledkins and
the brothers Olson, all obviously
on his side, and these three only.
When at last a quorum was ob-tained,
Dave Livingston (who
had the chair in place of the
conveniently absent Keim) called
the meeting to order. Mr. Living-ston
removed any doubt that
might have existed regarding his
side immediately after R o n
Stone moved that $200 from the
Academic Budget be given to the
Coffee Shop Fund.
Hearsay testimony from Dick
Schultz and Owen Halleen assured
the Senate that the Academic Com-mittee
would not need the money.
No attempt apparently was made
to have Rich Runbeck who had
been appointed Academic Commit-tee
chairman only nine days earli-er,
to express his opinion. Nor was
by John Sailhamer
Berkeley
THE CAUSE OF THE MONTH
CLUB has announced its decision
on the 'in cause' for the month of
December. Remembering the good
times of two years ago when over
eight hundred of its members were
arrested, the nostalgic leaders, in
any concern given for the fact
that academic responsibility exists.
The opposition was led by Dave
Anderson (who was frustrated and
knew he would make no difference
anyhow because Livingston would
break a tie by voting yes) and the
unfortunate absence of Sailham-mer
who would, no doubt, have
voted 'no' resulting in a no vote
from Anderson—the motion passed
5-4.
If Sailhammer would have been
present it. would have failed 6-5
—a double good trick consider-ing
the establishment rarely e-ven
comes this close to losing
and it was at their meeting.
I hope Bethel is proud of its
coffee shop for it was bought with
a price. The price is not only the
loss of academic committee func-tions,
but the loss of some degree
of believability in the Senate. This
price is exceedingly high and I
hope next year's Senate will not
exact such high tribute.
Hopefully, next week I can pre-sent
a better story.

times, wouldn't you kinda
take the hint and get out the
'Right Guard?' Right! — well,
that's exactly what Red China
did after her last refusal—only,
she got out the wrong Guard and
was red with embarrassment at
the U.N.'s last refusal to accept
her, November 29 of this year.
If she really wanted to be ac-cepted,
she should have taken
advantage of Nikita-Dag.

Although there is little know-ledge
of the content of the Kosy-bin-

certain that they made Kurt-
George Kiesinger's nose itch.
Viet Nam
While the United States and her
allies were embarking on one of
the largest offensives of the Viet
Nam war, 5,000 South Vietnamese
dock workers went on strike. Pro-testing
the discharge of 600 civil-ian
longshoremen, the workers
walked off their job on December
26 leaving the transport of military
supplies at a standstill. However,
U.S. soldiers were able to keep
essentials in route to the war .. .
Much to the aversion of the mili-tary
command, a 48 hour pause
was theoretically observed during
the Christmas holiday. As was ex-pected,
the Viet Cong wasted no
time in strategically utilizing the
quasi-truce. Intelligence reports
show that during this two day lull,.
more men and supplies were trans,
cont'd. on page 3
"Students are more vitally con-cerned
today than ever before a-bout
their educational processes.
We plan to explore the relation-ships
which do exist among our
students, faculty and administra-tors
and, hopefully, will come up
with useful recommendations."

Notes Changes
To the Editor:
Congratulations to the Students
of Bethel and the Student Senate
on the good beginnings of a Stu-dent
Center with atmosphere! It
was fun to hear the remarks and
see the expressions as it was first
viewed. Mr. Eugene Johnson, Owen
Halleen, Jim Keim, Mr. Haynes and
the host of workmen are to be
commended on their good work.
Now—let's see it through. Money
and work are still needed.
Bethel Bookstore is happy for
the change. There are several
changes behind the scenes that
will expedite matters for us. The
closet and work space in the Stu-dent
Center were exchanged for
private space in the Post Office,
the downstairs storage closet was
accepted by Public Affairs in ex-change
for space under the college
building front entrance.
Finally, an additional small room
was added where coat racks used
to stand. All of this puts our work-storage
area into one location. It
is most helpful.
Congratulations—and thanks!

(By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boys!",
"Dobie Gillis," etc.)
During the course of the semes-ter
a flurry of extraneous mailing
finds its way into post office box
91, the CLARION'S local mailing
station. The content of the mater-ial
can be generally categorized
as either 1) Save-it-for-reference-or-
publication, 2) Send-it-to-file-13-
expediently, or 3) It-may-come-in-handy-
save-it-for-three-weeks-then-toss-
it.
Sifting through category number
three I purchanced upon what ap-peared
as a rather harmless series
of volumes under the scintillating
title, "Characteristics of the Col-lege
Market, A Marplan Research
Report prepared for National Edu-cational
Advertising Services, a
subsidiary of Reader's Digest Sales
and Service."
The series was presented in sev-eral
volumes: "Expenditure for
Goods and Services," "Media Expo-sure,"
"Expenditures on Proprie-tary
Medicines," and "Expendi-tures
on Automobile and Automo-tive
Accessories."
Just as these were about to find
their way into that treasured rub-bish
pile located somewhere near
the southeastern corner of t h e
CLARION office I came across the
following quote: Collegians today
not only have a good deal of money
—they spend it."
I mean, tell me more fella! Here
I stand at the beginning of another
semester with an empty pocket and
a tuition bill of $550, a board bill
of $187.50, book expenses of $40,
and room expenses of $125 staring
me greedily in the face.
Well, I read on and uncovered
some valuable information about
myself and my colleagues in this
collegiate maelstrom. It read al-most
like a true-to-life Ripley's Be.
lieve It or Not. For instance, did
you know that 72.2% of college
males consume cookies during the
semester contrasted with 85.3% for
their coeducational partners?
Now when I came to section
labled "Clothing Ownership" I was
fascinated. Did you know that col-lege
males on the average own 10
undershirts, 10 undershorts, two
pair of cufflinks and one raincoat.
And guys listen to this. Girls
own six bras, two girdles, two com-pacts,
and six heels. 9.3% of the
college males own suspenders and
garters and 42.6% of the females
own gym-suits.
A potentially interesting incon-gruency
was found in the "Groom-ing
Aids Usage" department. Dui.,
Mg the course of the semester
70.0% of the college men will use
razor blades contrasted with 77.9%
for females.
Tennis racquets are by far the
most popular item of sports equip-ment
owned by college students.
Next on the list come bicycles fol-lowed
closely by sleeping bags.
Reading under "Media Expo-sure"
led to several interesting
discoveries: 1) "Playboy" is by far
cont'd. from page 2
ported than during the previous
two months. Now, is that any way
to win a war?
the most widely read monthly ma-gazine
among college students.
26.7% of all students read it reg-ularly,
and 69.3% of all males and
33.0% of all females have read it
during the past thirty days. Draw
any conclusion you wish.
2) Students spend relatively lit-tle
time viewing television. Only
19%view any daytime shows, and
only 28% spend an hour or more
viewing an evening program on art
average weeknight. 3) 50% of all
students sometimes study while
listening to the radio. 4) 67% of
all collegians claim some reader-ship
of a city newspaper, and 5)
(this is the best news of all) 96%
of all students read their own col-lege
newspaper.
So you don't think college stu-dents
are hypochondriacs? 84.0%
use aspirin, 30.5% use cough drops,
and 26.7% use stomach remedies.
When it comes to automobiles,
I read that 58.0% of college males
own at least one and likewise
24.2% of the females.
Browsing through all of these
figures brought me back to that
original statement: "Collegians to-day
not only have a great deal of
money — they spend it." If that
is true, and from the statistics
quoted, it seems to be, then I can
come up with only one conclusion
—I can't be a collegian.
efteld--
Concerning the war, an open
letter was sent to the President
signed by students from 100
American colleges and universi-ties:
" . . . unless this conflict
can be eased, the United States
will find some of her most loyal
and courageous young people
choosing to go to jail rather
than to bear their country's
arms."
Civil Rights
Two significant court decisions
this week almost assuredly pre-sage
conflict in southern civil
rights efforts:
a) The United States Courts of
Appeals voted in favor of a de-cree
which would virtually deseg-regate
the South's public schools,
commencing with the school year
1967-68.
b) Georgia's Supreme Court
ruled, in a 5-2 vote, Friday that
the legislature may choose the
next govenor of that state. Sig-nificant
is the fact that Lester
the Maddox (also the segrega-tionist)
is highly likely to be
elected.
If the past is any indication,
Lester the-walk-softly-but-carry-a-big-
ax-handle Maddox won't take
desegregation lying down — or for
that matter, any other way they
try it.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Do you know why diamonds of the same carat
are priced differently?
The difference can be seen through our diamond
microscope. Come in and see for yourself.

IT'S A NORTH WIND THAT BLOWS NO GOOD
Crushed between the twin millstones of January
weather and final exams, you are saved from total des-pair,
poor devils, only by the knowledge that winter vaca-tion
will soon be here.
Where will you go this year? Will it be Florida again,
or are you tired of jails ? Then how about Puerto Rico ?
A most excellent notion, say I. A balmy and bounteous
island with long white beaches and blue, blue skies and
green, healing seas. And, most pleasant of all, the warm
and gracious people of Puerto Rico ! You don't even have
to know Spanish to communicate with this friendly folk.
Just learn three simple phrases and you'll get along
splendidly : "Buenos dias" which means "Good morning,"
"Gracias" which means "Thank you," and "Que sera
sera" which means "Your llama is on my foot."
In order to help you enjoy the fabled land of Puerto
Rico it would be well for me to supply a bit of historical
background. (It would also be well for me to say a few
words about Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades be-cause
the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel
Blades pay me to write this column and they are inclined
to sulk if I omit to mention their product. Of course, they
don't stay gloomy long, for they are kindly, cheery men
fond of Morris dancing, spelling bees, and temperance
punch—fine, upright types, as true and gleaming and
durable as the blades they make. And if you've tried
Personna's, you know how true and gleaming and durable
that is ! And if you haven't tried Personna's, poor devil,
you've cheated both your purse and face, for Personna's
last and last, shave after luxury shave, close, clean, nick-less,
hackless, tugless, gougeless, scratchless, matchless.
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades come in Double
Edge or Injector style and are made only by the makers
of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades.)
But I digress. Back to the history of Puerto Rico. The
island was discovered by that popular discoverer Chris-topher
Columbus. Incidentally, considering Columbus'
popularity, it's odd we know so little about him. What do
we really know? Only this :
He was born in Genoa on August 25, 1451, the son of
Ralph T. Columbus, a knee-cymbal vendor, and Eleanor
( Swifty) Columbus, a low hurdler. He was an only child
except for his five brothers and eight sisters. From early
childhood he was an avid reader and spent all his waking
hours immersed in a book. Unfortunately, there was only
one book in Genoa at the time—Care of the Horse by
Aristotle—and after 18 years of reading Care of the
Horse, Columbus grew restless. When rumor reached
him there was another book in Madrid, off he ran as fast
as his little fat legs would carry him.
Disappointment, alas, awaited him there. The only book
in Madrid was Cuidar un Caballo, which proved to be noth-ing
more than a Spanish translation of Care of the Horse.
Then one day Columbus heard from a traveller that
there were millions of books in India, and he was in-stantly
ablaze to set sail. Off he ran on his little fat legs
to the court of Ferdinand and Isabella ( Columbus, though
more than six feet tall, was plagued with little fat legs
all his life) and, as we all know, he persuaded the Span-ish
rulers to outfit him with three stout ships, the Flopsy,
the Mopsy, and the Cottontail, and the rest is history !
Well sir, now you know all about the origins of Puerto
Rico. So get packed and get going ! You'll love it ! Stroll the
beaches, swim the coves, breathe the fragrance of hibiscus
and bougainvillea. And remember always that the friendly
Puerto Ricans are delighted to show you their customs,
teach you their language. Why, I'll wager you'll soon know
far more Spanish than the three basic phrases. You'll know
"Hastalavista"which means "See you later.""Por favor"
which means "Please," and "El tren se par() en las esta-cion"
which means "Your llama has eaten my passport."

Only three more days to Super Sunday and the Super
Bowl! Fans across the country have been eagerly awaiting this
super showdown for years: players have been awaiting the
super payoff ever since the game was first slated, although
papers across the country have constantly quoted the pro
gridders as strongly, and (undoubtedly) truthfully, asserting
that the important factor is the prestige of their team and
league, and not the money.
However, Bethelites who watch this super culmination to
the flurry of post-season grid games might be interested to
note that NBC and CBS shelled out $2.5 x 10' (that's 2Y2 mil-lion
dollars for you musi...er...non-math majors) for TV rights
to the super game. Even without the super receipts of this
Sunday, pro football is now a $65 million a year business—
not bad for a sport that struggled through 30 years of insta-bility
before reaching the financial big-time.
The box office is still the prime source of green stuff,
and the NFL Cleveland Browns head both leagues in this
department by packing in nearly 80,000 fans per conterst.
All told the now Brown-less Browns gross about $4 million;
a low ranking NFL team takes in about $2,600,000.
CBS' $18 million won NFL television rights — that's well
over a million to each of the 15 teams. American Football
League teams will average a take of around $900,000 annual-ly
from their five-year deal with NBC.
Biggest single expense is the player payroll which almost
always exceeds $700,000. The average NFL gridder makes a-bout
$16,000 a year, and the AFL player makes close to the
same. Other expenses include equipment, which runs about
$300 per player, and $225 worth of footballs. and insurance.
Well, back to the Super Bowl for a few parting com-ments.
Although Green Bay is a clear favorite, Kansas City
will show up — even the losers make a lot of cash in this
game. But the Chiefs are conceding nothing; as, star line-backer
Bobby Bell says, "Both teams put their pants on the
same way — if the Packers hang them on the wall and then
jump into them, nobody has told me about it."
This corner will have to stick to favored Green Bush...er...
Bay as the team which will bring home the bacon which, in
this case, is 52 shares at $15,000. As they say, to the victors
go the spoils and EVEN IN COLLEGE BALL EVERYONE
LOVES A WINNER.

With the dawn of a new year,
cage coach Mack Nettleton has
hopes for a change in his team's
fortunes. Since the Bethel fans
last had the opportunity to view
the cagers at home, the Royals
have dropped three contests and
copped one. The season record cur-rently
stands at 3-7.
If one can remember, a tough
schedule was forecast. The forecast
now appears to have been well-founded.
Looking ahead, one sees a
rocky •road. For that reason, one
might wish to review the games
since December 16.
On December 16 the Royals trav-elled
to Iowa to face Northwestern.
Despite some excellent shooting,
the Royals took the short end of
a 104-96 score. Bethel led 52-51
at halftime, but the Iowans captur
ed the lead for keeps with seven
minutes to play.
Four Royals hit double figures
including Dave Bjorkland with 30,
Ron Pederson with 23, Dick Rob-ertson
with 13, and Edgar Peter-man
with 12.
The next evening our cagers
were completely outclassed b y
Sioux Falls ollege 118-73. Ron
Rrayl's 37 points set the torrid
pace of the Sioux Falls' 57.5%
shooting. The Royals were never in
the game, which saw Sioux Falls
The Bethel Hockey Club, unde-feated
in two years encountered
one of the stronger teams in the
MIAC as it met the St. Thomas
Tommies on the latter's home ice.
The Tommies carry a 2-3 confer-ence
record and challenged what
many local sports writers have
loosely termed one of the most
"offensive" small college clubs in
Thursday, January 12, 1967
jump off to an early lead. They
also led 62-31 at halftime. (The
Royals have another crack at them
this Saturday night — here!
The University of Manitoba, as
part of the "Peoples to Peoples
Program", fell victim to the Roy-als
80-55 in a shoddy contest. Cap-tain
Bjorkland once again led with
22 followed by Ron Pederson with
14.
Stout State of Wisconsin, how-ever,
ended Bethel's one game
streak by a score of 100-79. The
first half was fought on fairly
The Bethel Junior Varsity bas-ketball
team so far this season has
compiled a one wine — six loss
record. The lone win came in the
first game of the season against
Osceola Air Force Base.
That night the Junior Royals
blasted the airmen 94-69. The 94
points represents by far the team's
greatest offensive night. After the
Thanksgiving vacation they played
three games in one weekend.
On December 1 they lost to
River Falls 98-75; the next night
the state in referring to the Roy-als.
Sparked by the return of first
tenor Larry Schultz, baritone Doug
Gordh, trombonist Merle Daniel-son,
and National Guardsman Dave
Gerke, the pucksters were at full
strength for their second assault
on the citadels of the MIAC. The
final score of the contest was
Bethel 3 and St. Thomas 6.
even terms, but Stout led 49-42.
The Royals played perhaps their
finest 20 minutes of the season
that half. On the other hand, the
second half brought a reversal
as the Wisconsin boys handled the
boards with more authority and
won going away.
Tom Stroede and Jerry Kiesman
led Stout with 21 and 16 respec-tively
while Dave Bjorkland led
the Royals with 20 followed by
Dave Moulton, Dick Robertson and
Ron Pederson with 14, 12, and 12
respectively.
Macalester won 72-49; and in the
third game Macalester beat Bethel
70-58.
The team came back against
Hamline, playing them evenly for
much of the game, but lost 58-
54. Augsburg routed the J-V's 83-
54 on December 10, and in their
last game they lost to Albert Lea
79-63.
As poor as their record is, the
team has shown some encouraging
signs. In most of the defeats the
team has suffered heavily from
mental errors and lack of team-work.
But the team rebounded in the
second half at Albert Lea, des-pite
many violations, to play
much better ball. So if the team
can cut down on their mistakes,
they should be able to play win-ning
basketball.
There are also some talented
players on the squad who some-day
should be able to add a valu-able
contribution playing varsity
ball.
Statistically, Steve Bostrom is a
leader in many departments. Bos-trom
has scored 81 points, shot
46.6% from the field, and has
pulled down 36 rebounds. Murray
Sitte leads the team in assists with
14.
Ken Borchert is the second
leading scorer, but has 28 field
goals compared to Bostrom's 27.
The leader in free throw shoot-ing
is Dean Ericson who has
made good on nine out of 10
shots.
Andy Feldman is second in both
rebounds with 34 and shooting per-centage
with 42%.
